I'm so thankful i received my Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 on 10/10/2023.Great craftmanship and it took me 20 minutes to hookup.I was watching my movie Mad Max Fury Road and my whole room was thundering with clear,crisp thundering bass as if i was in the movie wow!!!
Please continue to Look into a solution for international buyer's to get there hands on your new dragon unit !!! My suggestion would be to ship the subs separate to the main unit to hopefully allow for lower shipment cost/ Weight. Maybe even sell components seperate 😉🤔 ?
Hope the wireless shielding on this is better than the 2018 9.2.4 Shockwafe model. That sounded like a popcorn machine regardless of whether you had the dedicated frequency setting on or off
Anyone else from Australia, guys let’s buy it and arrange our own shipping to Australia directly from the US. As these work on 240 volts, just need plug adapters. Just separate subs and repackage it. Any one up for bulk buy in the US?
May I suggest a helper strap for removing the sub woofers and possibly the surrounds? The items are packed tightly and a helper strap can be used for lifting the subs out from the compression foam.
I was one of the first vip 500 hundred. My only complaint is that I haven’t received it yet. Lol. The anticipation is killing me. But like any good doctor -- ILL HAVE PATIENCE 😅
Really want pne but knowing that with seedish import fees and VAT it will be much more expensive here than in the USA… Hope it stays on the market long enough
Hello there! The surround speakers and subwoofers will wirelessly connect to the main unit. You will only need to connect each speaker component to a wall socket for power.
I have the Nakamichi Sound Wave. Is it possible to integrate and replace the Soundwaves soundbar with the Dragons soundbar??? Will it work correctly with the Sound waves speakers and subwoofers??? If it works, I don’t want to buy the whole Sound Wave system, just the bar. Can I buy the Dragons soundbar separately?
I was among the first 500 people who were lucky enough to be able pre-order on April 26th 2023. The Nakamichi DRAGON 11.4.6 Home Surround Sound System 75th Anniversary World Premiere Edition. Only 500 were made for the 75th Anniversary. Dragon time...lol
Nakamichi DRAGON will be available for pre-order on B&H on Feb 8, 2024, 10am EST! Limited quantities available, with shipping to over 170 countries: www.bhphotovideo.com/
I am looking forward to this system being released. A little surprised all of this gear is going to be packaged in one box. The box is going to weigh at least 120 lbs. Too much for one person to take into one’s home. Any issues with a system and an exchange or return will not be easy. Three boxes - one for each subwoofer and one for the sound bar, the surrounds and power cords, etc. would make forking over $3,500 a much more pleasant experience.😊 My 2 cents, FWIW.
It Weighs 149 pounds and I watched one review and the reviewer said he got two that was damaged and he had to get a third one but it was OK. I’ve got one coming in January. I hope mine doesn’t show up dented all up. 😅
I’m poor, ain’t no way I’m getting my hands on this. I’ll just wait til they make a special 100 year edition. U know that one is gonna be SUPER flames.
Got my shipping confirmation!! Awaiting customs clearance now!!! If anyone got their shipping confirmation email, it has the golden plate Limited Edition on the top of the email. Do you mind sharing what number of 500 are you? Mine says 1 of 500!
Are all the HDMI ports on the dragon 2.1? I noticed at the end of the video it says to connect console’s specifically to the soundbar. I would only recommend this if the ports are 2.1 though. Otherwise just connect them to your TV if it has 2.1
Waiting for this device since the CES, i just have two question: 1. what tech is used for wireless transferring, maybe 2.4Ghz, is it stable in a home with some strong wifi signals ? ( i hope it is not like Sony A9, will effect by other wifi signals.) 2. is it available in china ? where can i get one in the first day release, i really want it?
It’s not available yet in China. I lived in Shenzhen and I was hoping to get it there but it wasn’t. I believe right now it’s in the US only. It should come to other countries soon.
Not my cup of tea, but if you have certain room limitations, and don't find horn loaded fronts with dual 10 inch drivers sexually attractive, then by all means - have at it.
Im waiting for mine too. I’m hoping the sounds will be worthy of those $35k because the plastic back plate of the main unit and the subwoofers looks very cheap. I can tell you it is not at the same quality of the top sound bars (i had them all already) and the very bad quality printing and design on the boxes make it look like a cheap product. This is a Nakamichi Dragon! Even the packing should scream top notch brand. It is bad.
@@johnwilliams5650 Man, i know that the chasis is made out of steel but the back panel on the main unit, the surround speakers and the subs are cheap plastic.

I can't wait to receive our beast , we're very excited 😃.
I can't wait to try one of these baby's out. That soundtrack was so funky by the way very 80s, made me think of Beverly Hills Cop.
Nice and simple set up video 👌🏻 perfect!
Nakamichi Dragon FTW!
The next level of home entertainment!!!
Great video, love the background music, can't wait to put in my order.
Hope the wireless shielding on this is better than the 2018 9.2.4 Shockwafe model. That sounded like a popcorn machine regardless of whether you had the dedicated frequency setting on or off
Worldwide postage asap.
I want this in Australia.
I’ve got about 3 months til my new house is built
I heard they decided against shipping overseas as the cost is too high.
Same here mate, got an email from them saying "probably not at this time". ;( Shipping costs more than the cost of the unit itself.

Today is 07/18/2023, I was wondering who had received the DRAGON beside Caleb Denison
Please do ship them to my country i need these!! Lebanon, Beirut.
This is my dream to own one, but way out of my budget, hope one day if I get a chance I will surly buy this. ❤

What I can't determine is if the fronts, subs and surrounds are wired or wireless ?
Hello there! The surround speakers and subwoofers will wirelessly connect to the main unit. You will only need to connect each speaker component to a wall socket for power.
Nakamichi Please come to Germany. I finally want to buy your products but it is not possible yet. Pls. :(...
Hope they start up sales within the EU and not just within the US.

Nakamichi-hey! Wow~how beautiful ~ see you later~

I am seriously thinking about buying this when i get my income tax money back in 2024. I have the Shockwave 9.2.4, which i totally love 😍.
Do you have the original shockwafe SSE soundbar 9.2.4?

Will there be units produced for Europe? Cause I want to preorder
No

is it possible to integrate myTV (Sony A80L with Acoustic Surface Audio+) as a center speaker in the Nakamichi Dragon Sys.?
I have a question, which is the best option for the surround speaker placement option A, side of the couch or option b behind the coich
Dear Nakamichi I’ll I want for Christmas is the dragon and that’s 6 months from now but hey it can come early 🤞
I’m poor, ain’t no way I’m getting my hands on this. I’ll just wait til they make a special 100 year edition. U know that one is gonna be SUPER flames.
all marketing this system is junk for the Price. Its real value is about 700-900 USD. Don't waste your hard earned money.
You can buy the Chinese counterfeit, Nakimachi
@@koningklootzak7788 it's all Chinese. The company was purchased by Grande Holding
@@mannyg35Can you elaborate? I'm looking to hear all criticisms of this product, your input and reasoning would be greatly appreciated!
I wish I could afford this
L If you want to buy in India, where can you buy it?
Can this system use any room correction technology like Dirac ??
I need one and i live in the middle east
Mine came with a huge piece of plexiglass but no explanation and it’s not in the video…?
When can i buy this in the U.K.?
Will it be available in Europe?
Is it available worldwide?
When will this thing ship?

That's means you are the man🤔
All 500 preorders say 1 of 500.
@@Jmb0491 That’s what I was wondering. Would be nice to confirm it, tho. Regardless, can’t wait to hear this beast roar!!
Yes confirmed they will all say 1 of 500
@@darvv1n boom!! Thank you!!
Question: does the mounting brackets come with the system or you have to order them separately?
Unfortunately , you have to buy them separately
When is this going to be able to be bought from Best Buy?
😂😂😂
can't wait :)
Is this AirPlay 2 compatible?

Hi Chaz, all the HDMI ports on the Dragon are HDMI 2.1 and are capable of 4K 120Hz passthrough if your TV supports it!
@@NAKAMICHIUSA awesome! Thanks for the response. Now restock so i can give you guys my money 😂
July 10 delivery date!!
Is the tracking number showing a estimated delivery date now?
@@aviratasiksana Yep! 😊
Are you serious?!? No way! Congrats. Did you get a seperate email with shipping confirmation?
@@TheGirlSkateBoardCo Thank you!! Yes! July 10th between 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. is the delivery!!
Mine is still in label created step 😢. What is your order number?
Am considering the Dragon but if earc is the only way to hook it up I won't buy it.
Earc is for tv. You can use bluetooth. This system is epic
How much did you pay ?

If you're using wireless for a surround sound system, you're doing it wrong.
🤣🤣🤣
@@PSYCHOV3N0M If you think you can use wire connection for Dragon, you are thinking very wrong
Two subs OH MY GOD
Rs
Cost in INR
Hope the 100 watts is suitable. The 300 watts from the 10 inch shockwave seem beatier. It's a made up word.
Finally
❤🐉❤
Looks beautiful, the soundbar system is just too big for my living room.
Seems a sound plate than sound bar
Have patience India, NakaMichi Dragon will come to India by 2035.
Plugged into a wall outlet?? Really!!
WTF!? 😯 the box is 120 pounds 😭😭🤣🤣
143 pounds. That’s what the shipping information says, anyway.
This is too much teasing, product not even available as yet.

Exactly what I felt. The finish is far from impressive.
FYI The Main Unit is made out Steel from a Car Manufacturer . The DRAGON is the best Home Surround System Out
